Just figured I’d drop a quick note this morning to let everyone know that I am still alive. My first flight got cancelled last Wednesday and I didn’t get out of Portland until 7.30 at night, 11 hours behind schedule. Because everything was booked solid, I got bumped to first class in my new flights from Portland to San Francisco and then from SF to Philadelphia. Man, that’s the life! At any rate, Christmas with both my mom and dad have been great. I got lots of knitting things. Right now it is snowing here, seems like it must have been all night. Since this will likely be my only snow this year I am ecstatic. Or at least as ecstatic as one can be at 9.30am. I fly back on Wednesday, given good weather and no delays/cancellations and I’ll have pictures then.
